A winter weather advisory for Allegan County goes into effect at 1 p.m. Tuesday and 4 p.m. Tuesday for Ottawa County. Both last until 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Expect 3-6 inches of snow with wind gusts over 25 mph. Visibilities will be reduced by blowing snow and roads will become slippery Tuesday evening.

This is the same storm that is spreading blizzard conditions from northwestern Texas to northern Missouri and southern Iowa, according to AccuWeather.com.

“Nasty travel is in store along much of the I-90 and I-94 corridors from northern Illinois to Michigan later Tuesday into Wednesday. Most of the storm will be snow in this swath,” said meteorologist Alex Sosnowski from AccuWeather.com. “The storm will pack a several-hour period with windswept heavy snow and low visibility in this area.”

The storm has been dubbed Winter Storm Rocky by The Weather Channel.

The winter storm watch is no longer in effect. A watch is used when the risk of hazardous weather has increased but its occurrence, location and/or timing in uncertain, according to the National Weather Service.

An advisory highlights special weather conditions that are less serious than a warning.
